Who you invoice

Clients

Add the businesses and people you invoice. Their details are used to raise ordinary invoices — the kind you issue to your customer — and merge into any contract you paper the relationship with.

A client does not need an Invoicer account. The engagement handshake is the section 71 prior agreement, which self-billing requires because the customer issues on the supplier's behalf. An ordinary invoice is issued by you to them and needs no prior consent, so a client you add here is ready to invoice straight away. If they later sign up, the record can be linked to their account and the relationship carries on.
